Devil Rays - Shockingly Fast and Deep Divers - National Geographic

When scientists first put satellite tags on, they expected the devil rays to stay close to warm surface waters, where they are frequently seen. But their research, published July 1 in Nature Communications, shows that the rays frequently descend more than 5,900 feet (1,800 meters) into a part of the ocean that few other species are able to reach.
